Quadrophenia is a 1979 British film, loosely based on the 1973 rock opera of the same name by The Who. The film stars Phil Daniels as Jimmy, a 1960s Mod, supported by Leslie Ash, Toyah and, towards the end of the film, Sting. It was directed by Franc Roddam in his feature directing début. Unlike the film adaptation of Tommy, Quadrophenia is not a musical film.
The film, set in 1964, follows the story of Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels), a London Mod. Disillusioned by his parents and a job as a post room boy in an advertising firm, Jimmy finds an outlet for his teenage angst with his Mod friends Dave (Mark Wingett), Chalky (Philip Davis) and Spider (Gary Shail). One of the Mods' rivals, the Rockers, is in fact Jimmy's childhood friend, Kevin (Ray Winstone). An assault by aggressive Rockers on Spider leads to a retaliation attack on Kevin. Jimmy participates in the assault, but when he realises the victim is Kevin, he doesn't help him, instead driving away on his scooter.
A bank holiday weekend provides the excuse for the rivalry between Mods and Rockers to come to a head, as they both descend upon the seaside town of Brighton. A series of running battles ensues. As the police close in on the rioters, Jimmy escapes down an alleyway with Steph (Leslie Ash) – a girl on whom he has a crush – and they have sex. When the pair emerge, they find themselves in the middle of the melee just as police are detaining rioters. Jimmy is arrested, detained with a violent, charismatic Mod he calls 'Ace Face' (Sting), and later fined the then-large sum of £50. When fined £75, Ace Face mocks the magistrate by offering to pay on the spot, to the amusement of fellow Mods.
Back in London, Jimmy becomes increasingly depressed. He is thrown out of his house by his mother, who finds his stash of amphetamine pills. He then quits his job, spends his severance package on more pills, and finds out that Steph has become the girlfriend of his friend Dave. After a brief fight with Dave, the following morning his rejection is confirmed by Steph and with his beloved Lambretta scooter accidentally destroyed, Jimmy takes a train back to Brighton. In an attempt to relive the recent excitement, he revisits the scenes of the riots and of his encounter with Steph. To his horror, Jimmy discovers that his idol, Ace Face, is in reality a lowly bellboy at a Brighton hotel. Jimmy steals Ace's scooter and heads out to Beachy Head, crashing the scooter over a cliff, which is where the film begins with Jimmy walking back from the cliff top in the sunset back drop.

- Introducing Cross Section
John Lydon (Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols) screen-tested for the role of Jimmy. However, the distributors of the film refused to insure him for the part and he was replaced by Phil Daniels.[2][3]
Ray Winstone, Phil Daniels, P. H. Moriarty and Julian Firth all appeared in the film Scum, after filming Quadrophenia.
Michael Elphick played an ageing Rocker in 1980s TV series Boon.
Most of the cast were reunited after 28 years at Earls Court on 1 and 2 September 2007 as part of The Quadrophenia Reunion at the London Film & Comic Con run by Quadcon.co.uk.[4] Subsequently the cast agreed to be part of a Quadrophenia Convention at Brighton in 2009.[4]
Spall and Daniels also appeared together in Chicken Run with Spall voicing Nick and Daniels voicing Fetcher, along with Whitrow, who voiced Fowler.
Production notes[edit]
Several references to The Who appear throughout the film, including an anachronistic inclusion of a repackaged Who album that was not available at the time, a clip of the band performing "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" on the TV series Ready Steady Go!, pictures of the band and a "Maximum R&B" poster in Jimmy's bedroom, and the inclusion of "My Generation" during a party gatecrashing scene. The film was almost cancelled when Keith Moon, the drummer for The Who, died, but in the words of Roddam, the producers, Roy Baird and Bill Curbishley, "held it together" and the film was made.
Only one scene in the whole film was shot in the studio; all others were on location. Beachy Head, where Jimmy may or may not have tried to kill himself at the end of the film, was the location of a real-life suicide that supposedly influenced the film's ending.
The stunt coordinators underestimated the distance that the scooter would fly through the air after being driven off Beachy Head. Franc Roddam, who shot the scene from a helicopter, was almost hit.
Jeff Dexter, a club dancer and disc jockey fixture in the Sixties London music scene was the DJ in the club scenes, and was the uncredited choreographer of 500 extras for the ballroom and club scenes. He also choreographed Sting's feet in his dance close-ups. Dexter managed America whose first major gig at "Implosion" at The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, was the opening act to The Who on 20 December 1970.
DVD releases[edit]
Universal first released the film on DVD in 1999 with an 8-minute montage featurette. It used the VHS print, resulting in a much lower-quality video than expected.
Following this in the US was a special edition by Rhino, which included a remastered matted wide screen transfer, a commentary, several interviews, galleries, and a quiz. However, it was a shorter cut of the film, with several minutes of footage missing.
On 7 August 2006, Universal improved upon their original DVD with a Region 2 two-disc special edition. The film was digitally remastered and included a brand new commentary by Franc Roddam, Phil Daniels and Leslie Ash. Disc 2 features an hour-long documentary and a featurette with Roddam discussing the locations.[5] Unlike their previous DVD, it was the complete, longer version, and it was matted to the correct aspect ratio.
On 1 January 2012, The Criterion Collection hinted in their annual New Year's drawing that they would be releasing a special edition version of this movie, presumably on both DVD and Blu-Ray formats.[6] This edition was released on 28 August 2012.

Mohammad Jamil: War in August?
The writer is Lahore-based senior journalist.
Man is a rational and social animal. And it is because of his intellect and creativity that human being is more ferocious than beasts. Recorded history reveals about the wars between the Greek and Roman nation states 2500 years ago. There was 100 years' war between England and France though its duration was 116 years i.e. from 1337 to 1453. France and Germany had three centuries of hostile relations, and had at least one thirty-year war. However, it was only after the Second World War in 1945 that relations became the key to the unity between the European countries. Many a civilization has emerged and waned.
"Birth, growth, breakdown and disintegration is the cycle of all civilizations", said Toynbee. Such was the course of events that once sun did not set in the Great Britain but today it is only 'Britain' and sun hardly rises in this kingdom. The First and Second World Wars had started in August 1914 and 1st September 1939 respectively, and according to a report in Los Angeles Times said that there is a possibility of war in August, which may turn into a 3rd World War. Having seen enormous death and destruction, European countries led by the US wish to see Asia as the next theatre of war.
America and its allies are hell bent on regime change in Syria, but their efforts have been frustrated when Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution on Thursday that threatened Syrian authorities with sanctions if they did not halt violence against an uprising. It was the third time that Russia, a key ally of the Syrian government and China have used their veto power to block resolutions designed to pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to halt the 16-month conflict. With the mandate for a U.N. observer mission in Syria was to expire at midnight Friday (0400 GMT Saturday), Western states that pushed the resolution to renew the operation under a threat of sanctions against Damascus reacted angrily to the vetoes. "The effect of their actions is to protect a brutal regime. They have chosen to put their national interests ahead of the lives of millions of Syrians," Britain's U.N. ambassador, Mark Lyall Grant, told the 15-member Security Council after the vote. The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, called the Russian and Chinese moves "dangerous and deplorable" and said the Security Council had "failed utterly."..

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Health officials in Tennessee are urging more people to get vaccinations for the flu after at least 11 people have died from complications of the virus so far this season.
The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/JHnxlE) reports nine people from Nashville and its surrounding counties have died while two deaths have been reported in the Cumberland region. The Tennessee Department of Health is investigating other reports that have not yet been confirmed.
Vanderbilt University infectious disease professor Dr. William Schaffner is tracking cases in Nashville and surrounding counties. He says people die from the flu each year, but nine deaths in an eight-county area at this point in flu season is "noteworthy."
Health officials say people should get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Validity and failure of the Cauchy-Born hypothesis in a two-dimensional mass-spring lattice
UNSPECIFIED. (2002) Validity and failure of the Cauchy-Born hypothesis in a two-dimensional mass-spring lattice. JOURNAL OF NONLINEAR SCIENCE, 12 (5). pp. 445-478. ISSN 0938-8974
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00332-002-0495-z
The Cauchy-Born rule postulates that when a monatomic crystal is subjected to a small linear displacement of its boundary, then all atoms will follow this displacement. In the absence of previous mathematical results, we study the validity of this rule in the model case of a 2D cubic lattice interacting via harmonic springs between nearest and diagonal neighbours. Our main result is that for favourable values of the spring constants and spring equilibrium lengths, the CB rule is actually a theorem.
Simple counterexamples show that for unfavourable spring parameters or large displacements the CB rule fails. Moreover the resulting overestimation of the lattice energy per unit volume by the CB rule cannot be cured by convexification (let alone quasiconvexification) of the CB energy.
The main tool in our proof is a novel notion of lattice polyconvexity which allows us to overcome the difficulty that the elastic energy as a function of atomic positions can never be convex, due to frame-indifference.

Brooks Conrad became notable to Braves fans for some big home runs in the 2010 season and then became somewhat infamous in the playoffs that year due to some high-profile defensive miscues. Last year he shuttled back and forth between the bigs and Triple-A with the Brewers. Now, he's looking eastward. Far eastward:
Hanshin has a basic agreement with Brooks Conrad, to sign him officially in December: sponichi.co.jp/baseball/news/…
— Patrick Newman (@npbtracker) November 5, 2012
That link goes to a Japanese article most of you can' read, so don't bother. But Patrick is basically always right about the NPB news.
Good for Conrad. I got to meet him in spring training back in March. He's a nice guy who seems really likable and who works hard. Here's hoping he can find some success in Japan.
- crpls - Nov 5, 2012 at 11:50 AM
Supposedly he's going to be their cleanup hitter, too.
But he'll always be Brooks Conrad: True Giant, to me.
- Old Gator - Nov 5, 2012 at 12:00 PM
Maybe he can help Hanshin get back to what it's supposed to be: the Beanbags to Yomiuri's Borg.
- deafrecon - Nov 5, 2012 at 12:38 PM
according to google translate:
[Four days, as the new foreign players, Hanshin agreed in principle to a contract with (32) infielder Brooks Conrad played Brewers this season, or raise. He told GM Katsuhiro Nakamura, and on showing the prospect of a definitive agreement will be around May 12 "There is one, can protect third base is also called. Switch hitter point." In the hustle play also features such as sliding head, is expected to be a mood maker. In 280 career games played in the major leagues in five years, home runs, batting average 207,18, Conrad is 71 RBIs.]
i think it's great that he'll bring that sliding head.

Taking a serious view of the gruesome murder of a woman software professional inside Siruseri IT Park, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Sunday ordered the CB-CID to take up investigation.
The day after the decomposed body of a 23-year old woman, a Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) employee, was found in an isolated spot off the first main road of the IT Park, Director-General of Police (DGP) K. Ramanujam inspected the site and held enquiries.
M.Subbaiah, Inspector, Kelambakkam police station, was suspended on Sunday for slackness in investigation, said a senior official who accompanied the DGP. Rajendra Prasad, Inspector, Thazhambur police station, has been given additional charge of Kelambakkam station.
Sexual assault ruled out
Meanwhile, the post-mortem report has ruled out the possibility of sexual assault. "Her throat was cut and there were four stab injuries on her abdomen, but there was nothing to indicate a sexual assault," said P. Parasakthi, Professor of Forensic Medicine at Chengalpattu Government Hospital and Medical College. The body was in a highly decomposed state and the soft tissues and muscles had degenerated.
Bones of the limbs and cervical area were exposed and there was a possibility that the body was bitten by animals, Dr. Parasakthi said.
The Kancheepuram district police have formed six special teams, each headed by an inspector and under the supervision of a Deputy Superintendent of Police to investigate the case, but the investigation has not made much progress yet.
The DGP issued a note on Sunday announcing a reward of up to Rs. 2 lakh for information leading to the identity of the culprits or helping the police in apprehending them.
Anyone having information can call 044-22502500, 22502510 or 98410-59989 or mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pulitzer Prize for Music
The Pulitzer Prizes |
Joseph Pulitzer • Pulitzers by year Pulitzer winners |
Journalism: |
Letters, Drama, and Music: |
Other prizes: |
The Pulitzer Prize for Music is one of the seven American Pulitzer Prizes that are annually awarded for Letters, Drama, and Music. It was first awarded in 1943. Joseph Pulitzer did not call for such a prize in his will, but had arranged for a music scholarship to be awarded each year. This was eventually converted into a full-fledged prize: "For a distinguished musical composition of significant dimension by an American that has had its first performance in the United States during the year." Because of the requirement that the composition had its world premiere during the year of its award, the winning work had rarely been recorded and sometimes had received only one performance.[1] In 2004 the terms were modified to read: "For a distinguished musical composition by an American that has had its first performance or recording in the United States during the year."[2]
In 1965, the jury unanimously decided that no major work was worthy of the Pulitzer Prize. In lieu they recommended a special citation be given to Duke Ellington in recognition of the body of his work, but the Pulitzer Board refused and therefore no award was given that year.[3] Ellington responded: "Fate is being kind to me. Fate doesn't want me to be too famous too young." (He was then sixty-seven years old.)[4] Despite this joke, Nat Hentoff reported that when he spoke to Ellington about the subject, he was "angrier than I'd ever seen him before," and Ellington said, "I'm hardly surprised that my kind of music is still without, let us say, official honor at home. Most Americans still take it for granted that European-based music—classical music, if you will—is the only really respectable kind."[5]
In 1996, after years of internal debate, the Pulitzer Prize board announced a change in the criteria for the music prize "so as to attract the best of a wider range of American music."[4] The result was that the following year Wynton Marsalis became the first jazz artist to win the Pulitzer Prize. However, his victory was controversial because according to the Pulitzer guidelines, his winning work, a three-hour-long oratorio about slavery, "Blood on the Fields", should not have been eligible. Although a winning work was supposed to have had its first performance during that year, Marsalis' piece premiered on April 1, 1994 and its recording, released on Columbia Records, was dated 1995. Yet, the piece won the 1997 prize. Marsalis' management had submitted a "revised version" of "Blood on the Fields" which was "premiered" at Yale University after the composer made seven small changes.[6] When asked what would make a revised work eligible, the chairman of that year's music jury, Robert Ward, said: "Not a cut here and there...or a slight revision," but rather something that changed "the whole conception of the piece." After being read the list of revisions made to the piece, Ward acknowledged that the minor changes should not have qualified it as an eligible work, but he said that "the list you had here was not available to us, and we did not discuss it."[7]
Six women have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize: Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, 1983; Shulamit Ran, 1991; Melinda Wagner, 1999; Jennifer Higdon, 2010; Caroline Shaw, 2013; and Julia Wolfe, 2015. In addition to being the first woman to receive the award, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich was also the first woman to receive a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in composition at the Juilliard School of Music.[8]
In 1992 the music jury, which that year consisted of George Perle, Roger Reynolds, and Harvey Sollberger, selected Ralph Shapey's Concerto Fantastique for the award. However, the Pulitzer Board rejected that decision and chose to give the prize to the jury's second choice, Wayne Peterson. The music jury responded with a public statement stating that they had not been consulted in that decision and that the Board was not professionally qualified to make such a decision. The Board responded that the "Pulitzers are enhanced by having, in addition to the professional's point of view, the layman's or consumer's point of view," and they did not rescind their decision.[8]
George Walker was the first African American composer to win the Prize, which he received for his work Lilacs in 1996. Walker is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory which he entered at the age of fourteen, and graduated at eighteen with the highest honors in his Conservatory class. He was the first black graduate at the renowned Curtis Institute of Music, where he received an Artist Diplomas degree, and he was the first black recipient of a Doctoral degree at the Eastman School of Music.
In 2004, responding to criticism, Sig Gissler, the administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes at the Columbia University School of Journalism, announced that they wanted to "broaden the prize a bit so that we can be more assured that we are getting the full range of the best of America's music..." Jay T. Harris, a member of the Pulitzer governing board said: "The prize should not be reserved essentially for music that comes out of the European classical tradition."[5]
The announced rule changes included altering the jury pool to include performers and presenters, in addition to composers and critics. Entrants are now no longer required to submit a score. Recording will also be accepted, although scores are still "strongly urged." Gissler said, "The main thing is we're trying to keep this a serious prize. We're not trying to dumb it down any way shape or form, but we're trying to augment it, improve it...I think the critical term here is 'distinguished American musical compositions.'"[9] Reaction among Pulitzer Prize in Music winners has varied.
The Pulitzer Prize Advisory Board officially announced: "After more than a year of studying the Prize, now in its 61st year, the Pulitzer Prize Board declares its strong desire to consider and honor the full range of distinguished American musical compositions—from the contemporary classical symphony to jazz, opera, choral, musical theater, movie scores and other forms of musical excellence...Through the years, the Prize has been awarded chiefly to composers of classical music and, quite properly, that has been of large importance to the arts community. However, despite some past efforts to broaden the competition, only once has the Prize gone to a jazz composition, a musical drama or a movie score. In the late 1990s, the Board took tacit note of the criticism leveled at its predecessors for failure to cite two of the country's foremost jazz composers. It bestowed a Special Citation on George Gershwin marking the 1998 centennial celebration of his birth and Duke Ellington on his 1999 centennial year. Earlier, in 1976, a Special Award was made to Scott Joplin in his centennial year. While Special Awards and Citations continue to be an important option, the Pulitzer Board believes that the Music Prize, in its own annual competition, should encompass the nation's array of distinguished music and hopes that the refinements in the Prize's definition, guidelines and jury membership will serve that end."[10]
Subsequently, in 2006, a posthumous "Special Citation" was given to jazz composer Thelonious Monk,[11] and in 2007 the prize went to Ornette Coleman, a free jazz composer.
Donald Martino, the 1974 winner, said, "If you write music long enough, sooner or later, someone is going to take pity on you and give you the damn thing. It is not always the award for the best piece of the year; it has gone to whoever hasn't gotten it before."[12]
John Corigliano, the winner in 2001, said that although the Pulitzer Prize for Music was intended to be for music that meant something to the world, it had become a very different kind of award: "by composers for composers" and "mired in a pool of rotating jurors."[6] Indeed, in 1998, after researching the Pulitzer Prize for Music, music critic Kyle Gann wrote that the awards panel often included "the same seven names over and over as judges": Gunther Schuller, Joseph Schwantner, Jacob Druckman (now deceased), George Perle, John Harbison, Mario Davidovsky, and Bernard Rands. Gann concluded that since all of these composers are white men, and generally have same "narrow Eurocentric aesthetic" that the prize has been unfairly biased.[13]
After winning the award in 2003, John Adams expressed "ambivalence bordering on contempt" because "most of the country's greatest musical minds" have been ignored in favor of academic music.[6]
Concerning the 2004 changes, Gunther Schuller said, "This is a long overdue sea change in the whole attitude as to what can be considered for the prize. It is an opening up to different styles and not at all to different levels of quality." Other former winners disagreed. Stephen Hartke publicly criticized the changes, and John Harbison called them "a horrible development."
Lewis Spratlan (who won the Prize in 2000) also showed concern at this change, but not because of its incorporation of previously-neglected styles. (Many of Spratlan's own works fundamentally incorporate a variety of styles, including jazz-like idiosyncrasies.)[14][15] Rather, Spratlan protests the equation of musical songwriting and movie scoring with academic composition, believing them to be incapable of functioning as unique and influential works. He expressed his concern that equating the music of musicals and movies with the exploratory endeavors of academic composers is to pervert the prestige and original intent of the Pulitzer Prize:
"The Pulitzer is one of the very few prizes that award artistic distinction in front-edge, risk-taking music. To dilute this objective by inviting...musicals and movie scores, no matter how excellent, is to undermine the distinctiveness and capability for artistic advancement...."[16]
In its first 71 years to 2013, the Music Pulitzer was awarded 67 times; it was never split and no prize was given in 1953, 1964, 1965, and 1981.[17]

ESPN: SportsNation |
Holy smokes Batman, already a long line of questions in the queue... ok, let's get it going puck nation !
What are the chances of Vancouver getting lecavilier?? They could trade Kesler, Raymond, La Barbra, and some draft picks also think about Sundin. It would make sense for TB. I year prorated contract could still provide offence costs less money...the list goes on. Would it make sense and if not what other trades could possibly happen for big forwards.
Austin, hope you are breathing a little easier with the big Vancouver win last night. Edmonton and Montreal are the two Canadian teams that had talks with Tampa on Lecavalier but that has since died down... I think Vancouver will make a play for either Hossa or Gaborik next July 1, to play with fellow Slovak Demitra... but that's easier said than done... Hossa may also yet re-sign in Detroit depending on how much of a pay cut he can live with...
Pierre, Is this truly how sad NHL clubs have become by retiring a players number simply because they were with the club for one Stanley Cup win or a stretch 400 games in the 1980's/1990's, such as Adam Graves or Doug Gilmour?
Travis, I disagree. I think guys like Graves and Gilmor meant a lot to those organizations and deserve to be recognized. Not everyone can be Montreal and have guys to retire with a bunch of Cup rings... besides, they too have run out of those guys to honor
Do you think the Sharks Will make a move at the trade deadline? what do you think the team needs
I think Doug Wilson will definitely take a close look at what's out there. He's left himself some room under the cap to acquire a decent player. There are no holes on this team but I suspect he'll try to pick yet more Cup experience again....
pierre, what do you make of the canucks recent troubles? do you see them making the playoffs?
Well, let's keep everything in perspective. Most people predicted they would be a bubble team last September so that's exactly where they are right now. Obviously it's been a terrible two months. But now they've finally got all their bodies back and there's no more excuses. Sundin hasn't looked very good, which has to be worrysome.
hi, is there anyone the stars are loooking acquire & can the make a deep playoff run eg taking down a team like san jose?
Given the injury to Zubov I think they might look at adding depth on defense.
if the bruins trade for tkachuk who you think the bruins will give up?
Sean, Tkachuk is a rental player (UFA July 1) so you don't have to give up that much in return... maybe a second-round draft pick or an AHL prospect
Do you see Ilya Kovalchuk getting dealt anywhere? I am really hoping he does!
Chris, the word I got again this week is that the Thrashers won't trade him before march 4. He's got another year left on his deal next season. But if it's clear he doesn't want to sign an extension in the off-season, maybe the Thrashers will look at moving him around the June NHL draft.
Hi Pierre, Do you see my Rangers making any serious moves before the trading deadline? If yes, can you name the players they might be after? Thank you.
Sergey, I think the Rangers will scour the market for a puck-moving defenseman that can help their transition game and ma the point on the power play.
Pierre, Ty Conkin and Chris Osgood have been short of spectacular in the last six Red Wings games. That said, do you think GM Ken Holland will be trading for a quality goalie before the trade deadline?
I don't think so Lisa, the Wings are committed to those two goalies sink or swim. Hey, Osgood won a Cup last year, right?
I'm a die-hard Panthers fan (after the past seven seasons, we're all die-hards now) and the Boumeester situation is difficult to watch. Whoever told you Bouw to the Senators is crazy - they're not going to acquire a rental when they're so far out of the playoffs now. I think if he's traded, it's going to be to a Western conference team like the Oilers or Flames. The Panthers would get more from a team that thinks it has a chance to sign him, and they want speed or scoring in return. My guess is Bouw to the Oil for Cole or Horcoff. Your thoughts?
Jim, maybe I didn't make it clear in my blog but I was presenting that rumor as a crazy example of how things get at this time of year. I don't believe it for a second. Having said that, it's looking more and more to me like the panthers will have to move him. There will be a long list of teams interested. Not really sure why Edmonton would be interested given all the puck-movers they have in Souray, Visnovsky, Gilbet, Grebreshkov _ they need wingers and goaltending.... but Calgary could easily be interested. I would think so would Philadelphia, Rangers, Montreal, etc.... The Panthers have already told teams around the league they are looking for help at center...
With the Caps playing amazing hockey right now, what, if anything, do you think GMGM will do at the trade deadline?
I was talking to GM yesterday actually... despite the loss of Chris Clark he felt pretty good about his group. Maybe a shot of experience would be nice but this is a solid team with no glaring weaknesses. Theodore can be inconsistent but he's won some playoff series in Colorado and Montreal
With the the recent play of Nylander being better than it has been, do you see the Caps using this performance to bolster his trade value? Or do they see it as a reason to keep him? On that note, do you see them making a deal at all...especially if Johnson is done for the year?
They actually had a meeting with him last month where they told him to unpack his bags. For now they're happy with him on board. But i still think if they get a decent offer March 4 they'll take a good look at it given the money he's got left on that deal
Any rumors about the Sabres shoring up their blue line by trade-deadline?
I'm actually in Buffalo today.... I know they are going to look at trying to acquire an offensive blue-liner... but so many teams are... no easy task
Can we expect to see Melanie LeBrun suiting up for Team Canada down to the road?
Ha ha _ I certainly hope so !!!!! She hasn't started skating yet, she's only 13 days old however
You're crazy rumor mentioned Scott Gomez to Florida, but does he have a no trade clause?
Again, that rumor was a joke. I wasn't serious !
Hey Pierre have the kings far and away passed your expectations for them this season? I mean they are still playing games that count in feb. Also what's your take on Jonathan Quick, he now has 3 shutouts in only 16 games played?
Yes they've been better than I had envisioned. The future is so exciting there. Doughty, Quincey, Johnson, Greene and later Thomas Hickey on defense... impressive... Quick so far has been terrific, he'll need to hold off Bernier next year for the No. 1 job... I thnk the Kings have a real shot at the playoffs next season
Can you name the US sqaud for 2010 please?
John, Scott Burnside, EJ Hradek and I will name our U.S. and Canadian 2010 teams next week. Stay tuned !
Will the Sabres move Afinogenov? Where do you see him fitting in nicely?
Mike, they have tried all year long to move him and they will continue to try. I figure since he's UFA July 1 they should be able to dump the remaining two months of his contract march 4.... I like Pittsburgh as a fit, someone to try out on Crosby's wing. Better than what they have now anyway
Who is the best player that will be traded in the next month?
Easy _ Jay Bouwmeester
Hey Pierre, Enjoying your work as always. As a Rangers fan, I've been very concerned with the recent inconsistent play, especially when considering that the core of the team is locked up long term for a significant cap number. What moves can you see the Rangers making leading up to the deadline and possibly in the summer to improve the team? Any chance we can dump Redden?
Iggy, as I mentioned earlier to another Rangers fan, I think the club will try long and hard to add a puck-moving defenseman.
Who is your favorite to win the cup right now?
I'll stick with my September pick _ San Jose
congrulation on being a father. Which teams must make a trade to make the playoffs?
David, thanks. I would say Vancouver. Something's not right and the Canucks need a shake-up.
Pierre, Whats up with Pando are we trading him for some defense and do you think weekes is going to be traded when marty comes back. I never got a chance to wish you luck on ESPN your an awesome hockey writer your a great addition.
Rob, thank you. I have no update on Jay, sorry, but I think Weekes will be waived and then if unclaimed will be sent down to the AHL once Marty returns
Any truth to the story in the Toronto Sun about either Malkin or Staal being traded to save money?
I think eventually, whether that's this summer or later on... The Penguins have to decide on either Malkin or Staal to stay with Crosby. No sense in a cap world to have three No. 1 centers _ that's overkill and leaves a team weaker in too many other areas. I lean more towrads Staal beeing eventually moved.
First off, how's being a dad going so far? Second, any trade rumors about the Flyers I should keep an eye on?
Daddy-hood has been a blast despite the lack of sleep ! As for the Flyers, I know they love Bouwmeester but they'll be among a long line of suitors there.... But I think adding a top-four type blue-liner is what they covet
Granted, I see them far more than most players in the league, but it seems as if the Blackhawks defensive combination of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook are among the best duos in the league. Who are some of the best defensive tandems in the league in your opinion?
They're pretty darn impressive Brad, no question. But I think right now Wideman-Chara is hard to beat although I guess they don't always play together... Markov/Komisrek in Montreal is also tough to beat and any combo of Detroit's top four
Hey Pierre - Holland does it again. Do you think that Hossa will look at all the factors around him now and possibly take a hometown discount like Zet to continue playing here in Detroit? He seems to have settled in very well.
Bruce, that will be fascinating to watch. The plan right now for Holland is to try and sign either Franzen or Hossa and then wait until June to figure out the salary cap number for next season before deciding whether he can complete the hat trick.... No one knows what Hossa will do because he himself hasn't decided yet
What do you think the Ducks will do before the Trading deadline? I am hoping that they decide that this year is worth making a run and not the year to trade off their players like Pronger, etc. Do you see Niedermeyer and Selane returning for one more year? Congrats and your life has changed forever with the birth of your daughter. Much Joy to you!
Rick, thanks for wishes. Great question by the way, it's one that GM Bob Murray is still asking himself as we speak. He told me he's taking a long look at how his team performs right now before deciding whether or not it's time to turn the page. I think if they win a bunch of games in the next three weeks he'll hang with this core but if they can't win enough games and drop down the standings he may look at blowing it up... very interesting time in Anaheim right now
I have been a die hard Pens fan for quite some time, and after going so far last year and being so low this year i am clueless... If you can answer one or all of these questions: 1) What is therriens status, it seems like if this keeps up for another few games he will be gone. If so, who will be a good replacement? John Torteralla? 2) With the trade deadline roughly a month away, what can this team do, if so who will they get rid of? I say maybe make a move for ilia and get rid of a defender or something? Thanks for your time, Steve
Stephen if the Penguins miss the playoffs I'd be worried for my job if I was both Ray Shero and Michel Therrien. But I think they'll both get a chance to at least finish the season... In the meantime, the Penguins have a surplus of blue-liners, especially when Gonchar returns, and Shero will try to use that to pick up a forward at the trade deadline
With the Sabres severely depleted blue line, do they move up into the category of teams likely to make a trade before the March 4th deadline, or possibly even take a run at Bouwmeester?
Jeff, Numminen returns tonight for the Sabres and Spacek and Sekera may both return Friday or Saturday... so the blue-line is getting healthier.. but i still think the Sabres will look hard at trying to add an offensive-type blue-liner
The question all season for the Caps has been whether or not they can get consistent goaltending. Well since Christmas, Jose Theodore has a .925 save percentage and a 2.07 GAA (this compared to a .881/3.35 before Dec. 26th). If Theo keeps playing this way, are the Caps complete enough to win the Cup?
If Theodore remains consistent, the Caps have as good a shot as anyone in the East to make it to the Cup Finals
Tampa Bay ownership/management has been a complete disaster so would it be a surprise if they traded Vincent Lecavalier? How about a straight up trade, Lecavalier for Luongo assuming Tampa Bay can sign him to an extesion?
Phil, ownership backed off big time from the idea of trading Vinny once they saw the negative backlash from Bolts fans and sponsors.... that's not to say they won't re-visit it however... Montreal remains the best trading partner because of the Habs' cap sapce moving forward next season and the Canadiens' owner's immense desire to have Lecavalier
Hey Pierre, WOuld you please give my San jose Sharks some love. They are having a ridiculous year!!...Off the tonic really.
Well Dave, I wrote a 2,000-word piece on them around Christmas time and also picked them to win the Cup in September. You want me to wash their cars, too?
Pierre, when is it going to be time to fire Glen Sather? Since becoming GM the team missed the playoffs his first 4 years and hasn't gotten further then the second round in each of the last 3 seasons. I think it's safe to say too that you can add the contracts of Gomez, Redden and Drury to the plethora of awful player acquisitions along with Bure, Lindros and Holik. Your thoughts?
Who knows what they're thinking up at MSG headquarters Figgs but if it were me _ yes I would look for new leadership in the front office. Mind you, I think Tom Renney is a great head coach.
It is interesting to see the Washington Post starting to cover the Caps more than ever now that they have caught fire and built off of last years run. They are fun to watch and the city has finally caught on to the excitement hockey can bring. How are other markets responding this year to the NHL's rise? Any chance we see the NBA fall behind the NHL like the mid 90's?
Great question Rob. The answer depends on where you visit. Washington, Chicago and Boston are the spots where the sport has really risen again.... But then there's other places like Long Island and Nashvile where it's not very promising at all... Many of the U.S. markets are fickle, the only that sells is winning.
Any 2nd line centers the Hawks will target before the deadline?
Your timing is good Jamie because I just got off the phone with Hawks GM Dale Tallon just an hour ago. He's in Sweden scouting. He said if he makes any moves it's with the big picture in mind, he's not goin to mortgage the future for a rental player.... I think if there's a fit for a center that doesn't cost too much he'll do it
Pierre, is there anyone besides Bouwmeester that you think the Devils could add that would give them some scoring punch from the blue line?
Tomas kaberle if Burke decides to move him.
Who would win a fight? Milan Lucic or Georges Laraque?
Laraque. One punch. But Lucic is a great player. Laraque is a relic.
Any chance the Rangers can just raise a banner to the rafters that says "1994" just to be done with it?
LOL..... have they honored the trainers from that year yet?
Do you think the Wild will re-sign Niklas Backstrom or do you think they will let him go via trade or as a FA after the season?
Freddy, I think they'll get him re-signed. He's comfortable there. Obviously funny things can happen in contract talks and they can fall apart but that's my belief at this point
Who would win in a fight LeBrun or Melrose?
Melrose would probably kill me. Although I had a pretty mean mullet in my hockey laying days in the late 1980s. Mind you, I could probably handle him if I sat on him.
I have heard the rumors surrounding Keith Tkachuk and the Bruins, but do you think that move will actually happen. And if it doesn't who (if anyone) will the Bs commit to?
One thing to remember with Tkachuk is that he has a no-trade clause which means he controls his future. Given where he grew up, I would think playing for Boston would definitely interest him. But other teams will also come calling. He'll have an interesting decision to make.
As a die hard Blues fan, if you would've told me in 2006 that in 3 years Dennis Wideman would be half of one of the top defensive pairings in hockey, I would've driven you to the looney bin. Crazy how things can change.
But on the other hand, that's a trade that's helped both teams Mike. Brad Boyes is an excellent finisher and those guys dont' grow on trees either.
Pierre, you mentioned Montreal's cap space moving forward, assuming they don't trade for Vinny, which UFAs do you see them retaining?
I think they'll re-sign Komisarek for sure, then maybe Koivu and Tanguay.... Kovalev will depend if he gets his had out of his derriere over the next few months....
Puck heads, I want to apologize, more than 100 questions I don't have time to get to as my hour is up. I'm to the HSBC Arena here in Buffalo for tonight's game. Love your questions guys, keep them coming. Until next week

The Hollow Nickle Case (continued)
Defection of a Russian Spy
The key to this mystery proved to be a 36-year-old Lieutenant Colonel of the Soviet State Security Service (KGB). Early in May, 1957, he telephoned the United States Embassy in Paris and subsequently arrived at the Embassy to be interviewed. To an Embassy official, the Russian espionage agent explained, "I'm an officer in the Soviet intelligence service. For the past five years, I have been operating in the United States. Now I need your help." This spy, Reino Hayhanen, stated that he had just been ordered to return to Moscow. After five years in the United States, he dreaded the thought of going back to his communist-ruled homeland. He wanted to defect -- to desert the Soviet camp. Hayhanen was born near Leningrad on May 14, 1920. His parents were peasants. Despite his modest background, Hayhanen was an honor student and, in 1939, obtained the equivalent of a certificate to teach high school. In September, 1939, Hayhanen was appointed to the primary school faculty in the Village of Lipitzi. Two months later, however, he was conscripted by the Communists' secret police, the NKVD. Since he had studied the Finnish language and was very proficient in its use, Hayhanen was assigned as an interpreter to an NKVD group and sent to the combat zone to translate captured documents and interrogate prisoners during the Finnish-Soviet war. With the end of this war in 1940, Hayhanen was assigned to check the loyalty and reliability of Soviet workers in Finland and to develop informants and sources of information in their midst. His primary objective was to identify anti-Soviet elements among the intelligentsia. Hayhanen became a respected expert in Finnish intelligence matters and in May, 1943, was accepted into membership in the Soviet Communist Party. Following World War II, he rose to the rank of senior operative authorized representative of the Segozerski district section of the NKGB and, with headquarters in the Village of Padani, set about the task of identifying dissident elements among the local citizens. In the summer of 1948, Hayhanen was called to Moscow by the KGB. The Soviet intelligence service had a new assignment for Hayhanen -- one which would require him to sever relations with his family, to study the English language, and to receive special training in photographing documents, as well as to encode and decode messages. While his KGB training continued, Hayhanen worked as a mechanic in the City of Valga, Estonia. Then, in the summer of 1949, he entered Finland as Eugene Nicolai Maki, an American-born laborer.
Background of the Real Maki
The real Eugene Nicolai Maki was born in Enaville, Idaho, on May 30, 1919. His mother also was American born, but his father had immigrated to the United States from Finland in 1905. In the mid-1920s, Eugene Maki's parents became deeply impressed by glowing reports of conditions in "the new" Russia. They sold their belongings and left their Idaho farm for New York to book passage on a ship to Europe. After leaving the United States, the Maki family settled in Estonia. From the outset, it was obvious that they had found no "Utopia" on the border of the Soviet Union. Letters which they wrote to their former neighbors showed that Mr. and Mrs. Maki were very unhappy and sorely missed America. As the years passed, memories of the Maki family gradually began to fade, and all but possibly two or three old time residents of Enaville, Idaho, forgot that there has ever been a Maki family in that area. In Moscow, however, plans were being made for a "new" Eugene Maki, one thoroughly grounded in Soviet intelligence techniques, to enter the scene.
Hayhanen Becomes Maki
From July, 1949, to October, 1952, Hayhanen resided in Finland and established his identity as the American-born Eugene Maki. During this period, he was most cautious to avoid suspicion or attracting attention to himself -- his Soviet superiors wanting him to become established as an ordinary, hard-working citizen. This false "build up," of course, was merely part of Hayhanen's preparation for a new espionage assignment. While in Finland, Hayhanen met and married Hanna Kurikka. She was to join him in the United States on February 20, 1953 -- four months after his arrival here. Even his wife knew him only as Eugene Maki, so carefully did he cover his previous life. On July 3, 1951, Hayhanen -- then living in Turku, Finland -- visited the United States Legation in Helsinki. He displayed a birth certificate from the State of Idaho which showed that he was born in Enaville on May 30, 1919, and, in the presence of a Vice Consul, he executed an affidavit in which he explained that his family had left the United States in 1928:
"I accompanied my mother to Estonia when I was eight years of age and resided with her until her death in 1941. I left Estonia for Finland in June, 1943, and have resided here for the reason that I have no funds with which to pay my transportation to the United States."
One year later -- July 28, 1952 -- a passport was issued to Hayhanen as Eugene Maki at Helsinki. Using this passport, he sailed October 16, 1952, from Southhampton, England, aboard the Queen Mary and arrived at New York City on October 21, 1952. Several weeks before he departed for America, Hayhanen was recalled to Moscow and introduced to a Soviet agent, "Mikhail," who was to serve as his espionage superior in this country. In order to establish contact with "Mikhail" in the United States, Hayhanen was instructed that after arriving in New York he should go to the Tavern on the Green in Central Park. Near the tavern, he was told, he would find a signpost marked "Horse Carts" "You will let Mikhail know of your arrival by placing a red thumb tack in this signpost," a Soviet official told him. "If you suspect that you are under surveillance, place a white thumb tack on the board."
Hayhanen Returns to the United States
The information which Hayhanen furnished to U.S. officials in Paris, France, in May, 1957, was immediately checked. There could be no question of its accuracy. Accordingly, passage was secured for Hayhanen on an airliner, and he was permitted to return to the United States. Following his arrival in New York on May 10, 1957, Hayhanen was given a thorough physical examination, suitable quarters were found for him, and arrangements were made for him to be interviewed by FBI Agents. From the fall of 1952 until early in 1954, he said, "Mikhail" served as his espionage superior in New York. They met only when necessary -- the meeting place being the Prospect Park subway station. To exchange messages and intelligence data, they used "dead drops" -- inconspicuous hiding places -- in the New York area. One of these "dead drops" was an iron picket fence at the end of 7th Avenue near Macombs bridge. Another was the base of a lamp post in Fort Tryon Park. In one of the "dead drops" mentioned by Hayhanen -- a hole in a set of cement steps in Prospect Park -- FBI Agents found a hollowed-out bolt. The bolt was about two inches long and one-fourth inch in diameter. It contained the following typewritten message:
"Nobody came to meeting either 8 or 9th...as I was advised he should. Why? Should he be inside or outside? Is time wrong? Place seems right. Please check."
The bolt was found on May 15, 1957. It had been placed in the "dead drop" about two years previously, but, by a trick of fate, a repair crew had filled the hole in the stairs with cement, entombing the bolt and the message it contained. Questioned about the hollow bolt, Hayhanen said that "trick" containers such as this were often used by the espionage apparatus which he served. Among the items he had been supplied by the Soviets were hollow pens, pencils, screws, batteries, and coins -- in some instances magnetized so they would adhere to metal object.

Inman News
Q: My husband and I have been house-hunting for more than two years. We finally found this home that we loved -- it's in beautiful condition, set up perfectly for our family, the right size, the right location, etc. We made an offer and got it!
Anyway, in the disclosures we learned that the house is actually a modular home that was prefabricated in the factory and moved to the lot in several pieces. It was attached to a permanent foundation and hooked up to all the utilities with permits from the city. We don't care that it's a modular home, but some of our family members expressed a lot of skepticism about it. Then, they were surprised when they actually came and saw the house. What gives?
A: Modular homes have gotten a bad rap in the past because people used the term modular, manufactured and mobile homes interchangeably, while they're really quite different. The second- and third-generation modular homes that I see now often are totally indistinguishable from "stick-built" homes (homes built, traditionally, on-site) at a glance, with the exception that they may have some sort of siding skirt that covers the joint where the building and the foundation are connected that you don't see as often on a stick-built home.
My trusted home inspector and appraiser both tell me that they feel late-model modular homes are often structurally superior to stick-built homes, due to superior engineering at the factory (often incorporating steel with the wood framing and floor support structure) and smarter design. Modular homes often lack the "ton-of-bricks"-type chimneys that are so often separated from the rest of the building or otherwise in disrepair where I live, in earthquake country.
The materials that are used in modular homes are often selected by engineers for durability against the predictable ravages of time, wear and the elements, rather than what's available or popular locally -- which drives more stick-built housing material selections than you might imagine. Modular homes are often fabricated in more than one piece, and then connected at the site, attached to a permanent foundation, and required to pass the same city building permit and inspection requirements as a "normal" home.
Manufactured homes, on the other hand, are essentially mobile homes -- which are admittedly much nicer than they used to be. Think of this like when the marketing folks renamed prunes "dried plums" -- same thing, or a new-and-improved version of the old thing, renamed to get rid of the stigma and connotations of the old name. Manufactured and mobile homes are actually vehicles, that are driven to the home and then placed on a foundation -- or not. Manufactured homes can have additional pieces that are fastened to them on the site, but are often made in a single piece.
The city's building inspectors are required to check out the places where the local utilities -- electrical, sewer, etc. -- are connected to a manufactured home, but not the actual home itself, which is not technically real estate to them. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development issues a set of guidelines that these homes must meet, but they are not required to meet local building codes.
In tough-to-call situations, appraisers often look for wheels, a vehicle identification number and a HUD approval certificate under a manufactured home, to tell it apart from a modular home. The distinction is critical because many lenders will not make residential home loans -- purchase or refinance -- on manufactured or mobile homes, but will lend money to owners of modular homes on the same terms as on a stick-built home.
Also, modular homes are thought to appreciate similarly to stick-built homes, while manufactured or mobile homes are thought to depreciate over time, more like a vehicle than real estate in this respect.
If your modular home floats your boat, and your lender agrees -- go for it! But before you remove your contingencies or allow your objection period to expire, talk with your lender to get a good understanding for what lending restrictions are common for modular homes in your area. Keep this in mind -- if it's too difficult to finance, that may narrow the pool of buyers who are able to purchase the home from you when it's time for you to move on.
